So, let's see, what's up? Well, I made a killer jalepeno/green onion/cheese wrap for breakfast today. And I bought a lovely new outfit from H&M on Friday. And I went to see The Strangers, which was really creepy. Oh yeah, and I got knocked up.
Yup, if all goes well, I'll be pushing a ridiculously overpriced Bugaboo stroller next February. Or, more likely, a slightly ridiculously overpriced Peg Perego Pramette. Yes, I now have a new obsession--stroller shopping. I had no idea there was this crazy subculture of high-end stroller fetishists. Some of them are $2000.00. For a stroller. Until we bought the Versa, that's about twice as much as any of our cars had ever cost us.
Besides stroller envy, I've also been coveting the cribs, car seats, and other baby crap I've been seeing in the many Vancouver baby boutiques I've been scouting out lately. So far this pregnancy is pretty much just a new shopping opportunity to me. I imagine it will feel more real when I start puking and getting fat. Good times ahead.

So, you're going to have an Aquarius baby? As a fellow Aquarius, I salute your decision. People born under this sign are inventive and intellectual. We also tend to chose career paths and majors that lead us straight into unemployment and/or the food service industry.
Anyway, I extend my congratulations to you.
Good luck with the stroller shopping. I have no idea what a Bugaboo stroller is, but I do know that Merriam-Webster's defines a bugaboo as "an imaginary object of fear." I'd be careful.
This Aquarius can be as inventive and intellectual as all get out--but that unemployment part isn't going to work for me. I need a future doctor or lawyer to take care of me when I take early retirement from my own crap job.
Damn that was fast. Congratulations!
I'm an Aquarius. I've never been voluntarily unemployed and haven't worked in food service since college. So you're not necessarily doomed.
Yeah, it was fast. If I had known, I would have savored that last glass of wine a little more.
I don't remember how I found your blog, but I've been reading for a while now. I'm de-lurking to say congratulations.
Four of my friends started the summer expecting, and half of them have now popped. For the first time in my (single-girl) adult life I've realized just how cool babies are.
You are so lucky!
Hey tobie,
Yeah, so many people I know are, or have recently been, pregnant. I guess if they can do it, so can I.
Congratulations ... or god help you ... or something.
I noticed an update somewhere a while back that made me realize I'd obviously missed a major development on your blog, so here I am, and whaddaya know? Here it is.
All the best. And don't sweat the strollers. Remember, you don't need one of those until it gets too heavy or squirmy to carry.
